Webcast auctions that let you multi-task on mobile
These days, mobile phones and tablets facilitate multi-tasking between apps and other functions.
When watching an online auction on mobile wasn’t always so easy. It meant that dedicating your time to an auction meant sacrificing your time doing other things on your phone.
If you wanted to reply to a text message whilst listening to an auction, you had to physically exit a bidding app. This meant no sound or audio. No visibility of the auction whilst you were doing something else. And vice versa. And we know that in today’s business-world, that’s not always the most efficient way to delegate your time. Especially in time-critical moments when you’re bidding online via mobile.
Our aim is to eliminate the barriers between bidding on mobile.
Each of our webcast auctions run directly off your website. And we use the latest in HTML5 web technologies. This means that regardless of the device you use to access our webcasts, you can do so by visiting the auctioneer’s website directly. This is regardless of whether you’re using a laptop, desktop computer, mobile phone or tablet.
This also eliminates a number of problems that are traditionally associated with app-driven solutions.
So what does multitasking on webcasts mean?
Essentially what this means is that online bidders are able to navigate between multiple applications. But they may also continue listening to their online webcast auctions whilst they do so.
This doesn’t quite mean that businessmen are able to make business calls during an auction as such. But whether it’s text messaging, reading and sending business emails, Facebook messaging, or for the younger generations, “Snapchatting” your peers (believe us, we’ve tried and tested that theory in-house). There are a plethora of opportunities for getting things done on mobile. And you can achieve it without compromising your experience of online auction webcasts.
It’s a great and more practical way for online bidders to use time more efficiently. Without compromising the experience of an online webcast auction.
Ready to bid?
And when you’re ready to place your online bid, simply return to your Safari window and click to get started. It’s that easy. Since you’ve been listening to the auction in the background, it’s unlikely that you’ve missed anything either. Bonus!
